Hong Kong Travel Guide

Hong Kong should be on everyone's travel destination as this modern, yet traditional city can offer travelers much more than a picturesque skyline. This ever-changing city seems to never sleep with tons of things to do and see from sunrise to well beyond sunset.

I'll be giving a brief overview from When To Visit Hong Kong, Where to Stay, Transportation, Food & Drink, Things to See and Do, & Photography Spots in Hong Kong.

BEST TIME TO VISIT OVERALL

Fall or early winter is the best times to visit as Hong Kong becomes cool and breezy during these months.

During summer and spring season, Hong Kong becomes way too hot and humid. However, many tourist still visit Hong Kong for summer and spring.

Pro Tip

When visiting during fall, winter, and even summer buy an umbrella when you get there for unexpected rain storms.

If you decide to visit Hong Kong during the summer or spring months, bring a light jacket as indoors places like restaurants or shops blast the A/C and can get uncomfortably cold.

Where To Stay In Hong Kong

Hong Kong is comprised of three different islands: Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories. Each island offers its own uniqueness and are close to various sightseeing attractions.

Most tourist try to stay near central on Hong Kong Island or near Mongkok in Kowloon. Keep in mind that most rooms in Hong Kong are small no matter where you stay.

Below you can find hotels that I've stayed at and recommend (not in any particular order).

Transportation in Hong Kong

Public Transit

Transportation in Hong Kong is nothing to be afraid of. Their subway system, known as the MTR, is one of the best. It can get packed during rush hour, but overall the MTR is very clean, prompt, and safe.

Photography in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a playground for any type of photographers. Whether you're into street, architect, cityscape, and even landscape photography, Hong Kong has got you covered. One of Hong Kong's biggest photography strength is it's architecture as most buildings are just made for symmetrical photography.

Seoul Travel Guide

Prior to visiting Seoul, Korea, I had no idea what this trip was going to consist of. And I'm glad I have no expectations. I met up with a good friend who grew up in Seoul and he showed me everything. I'm not just talking about the touristy spots like the famous Gangnam District, N Seoul Tower, or Korean BBQ. I'm talking about delicious KFC (Korean Fried Chicken), speakeasy bars where you have to enter through a window, silent disco parties, and much more. Visiting Seoul was a pleasant surprise and in this Seoul Travel Guide, I'm going to be covering the Best Time to Visit Seoul, Where To Stay, Transportation, Food & Drink, & Photography Spots In Seoul.

San Francisco Travel Guide

San Francisco Travel Guide

San Francisco is special to me. Having been born and raised in San Francisco, specifically in the Mission, I have some insight to this incredible city that you can't get anywhere else. AND I don't have a problem sharing these gems with you because...well I love to show off my city.

My San Francisco Travel Guide includes all of the goodies like When to Visit San Francisco, Places To Stay, Food & Drink, Things To Do & See, and of course the Best Photography Spots in San Francisco.

Zermatt Travel Guide

Zermatt is a special place and easily ranks in my top 5 favorite destinations.

Once there, you'll want to walk around and just bask in the awe of the Matterhorn. And take a deep breath because this is the cleanest air you'll likely inhale, since there are no cars allowed whatsoever.

Portland Travel Guide

Portland Travel Guide

For the amount of crazy stuff that Portland has to offers, it should be a mad city hyped up on all the sweets and sugar from Voodoo Doughnuts; sleep deprived from their Stumptown Coffee, while being forever lost in their imagination from the thousands and thousands of books at Powell's Bookstore. But Portland is not a mad city. It is actually a very fun city made up of very friendly people. Not to mention Portland's food culture is out of this world not discriminating between food trucks and brick and molder establishments. Every place that I ate was fantastic (now I know why they legalized dispensaries 0_0).
